GCSE for child not in school: online? crammer in London? Recommendations

26 replies

Any help appreciated. My DC is not currently in school. DC struggled emotionally and in other ways with lockdowns and before that too.

Very bright, but also NEEDS QUALIFICATIONS to get any decent job, at least Maths and English.

Does anyone have recommendations for decent (free or paid) online courses for maths/English GCSE or for a London crammer where he could just focus on these two subjects? I think he might be able to take them now and pass, but would prefer if he could get a 5 at least, and presume that would need some practice and effort? He is motivated.

Thanks!

If DS is compulsory school aged and cannot attend school the LA have a duty to provide alternative education under s.19, the Education Act 1996, this would include GCSEs where appropriate.

In addition to this, whether they are CSA or post 16 now, have you thought about applying for an EHCNA?
